Anyone whose already had braces/othodontists....(overla... teeth)?

so i have an overcrowded mouth and my front teeth slightly overlap in the front and one sticks out more than the other (thats the only problem i have with my top teeth)





just wondering from anyone who has been in this situation or is an orthodontist if they knew about how long after braces would the two front teeth become straighter (i dont mean perfect, but just slightly better)





thanks.

i had the same problem... my 2 front teeth were overlapping and just since i got braces aftr like a month they got straight and lined up! it was so amazing cuz my overlap wuz BAD!! From my 2 front teeth one was almost infront of the other and it would b soo embarrasing.... but now it has lined up with the others and its only been a month...so it depends cuz everyone has different teeth now all im waiting for is for my overbite to be fixed so tht'll take almost a year and my teeth are crowded so im having 2 of em pulled out... but ya dont worry abt the overlap it'll line up prtty quick!:-)
Reply:Are you asking about the length of the treatment? Well that depends on the rest of your teeth. If just the two front teeth were messed up, I'd say maybe a year. Or less.
Reply:Braces can work very fast; within the first couple of days there was a notable difference in the size of the large gap I had between my front teeth. After 6 months they were pretty much straight and aligned. However, I had my braces for a total of 22 months; your gums and jaw need time to readjust to the new position. And then you'll need to wear your retainer regularly. I think I was told to wear it all the time for a year, then indefinitely at nights. I used to roll my eyes at the nights thing and only wear it sporadically until I went on a weeklong trip without my retainer; when I tried to put it in it felt like the metal was scraping the front of my teeth, and it didn't really fit comfortably.
Reply:They are probably going to have to pull some teeth. My friend Vanessa has to have about 7 or more pulled because her teeth are horrible!Her teeth are basically like yours, just a lot worse!She has to have her braces about...eh 6 years maybe?
